Contemplative Video

Contemplative practices are a collection of various techniques that are focused on the betterment of the individual through various self-improvement techniques. There are various forms of contemplative practices such as Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Mindfulness, and Meditation.

The goal of the project is to develop a documentary on the Contemplative Practices Conference that happened at the Virginia Tech Conference Center on April 11-13. The extent of our work was to generate the content to make this documentary, edit and publish the interviews, and successfully hand off the content for further development at a later date. So far, the videos have been edited and published on the Contemplative Video YouTube channel, the link to which is posted below, and our professor, Dr. Fox, is in possession of all the content generated by our work, including the raw footage.
